Shadow Company provides a pretty thorough examination of the unknown soldiers doing a lot of the heavy lifting there, outside the conventional rules of warfare.

Drawing a line between official and unofficial forces is irrelevant since both are paid with our taxes, Shadow Company throws light on that bottom line in the war on terror.
Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
Though it offers interesting stories, Shadow Company does feel a little scattered.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

[A] fascinating, evenhanded documentary.

Shadow Company is a lesson in how to get audiences who know little and care even less about the Iraq War to sit up and pay attention.
